Ohmic Resistors - The conductors which obey Ohm'sm's law are called ohmic resistors.
Examples are all metallic conductors (such as silver, aluminum, copper, iron, etc), nichrome, copper sulfate, etc.
For such resistors, V - I curve is a straight line passing through the origin.



The conductors which do not obey Ohm's law are called Non-ohmic conductors. LED, Junction diode, Filament of a bulb are examples of non-ohmic conductors.
